Tour Announcement

Luke Bryan only launched his first headlining trek last year, but the ACM Entertainer of the Year had already booked a string of 2014 tour dates before the Dirt Road Diaries Tour ended in October. Then, on Jan. 14, the award-winning performer added a second, more extensive leg to his 2014 That’s My Kind of Night Tour. The announcement comes just two days before the tour is scheduled to launch at the Value City Arena at Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio.

Starting on May 3, the new leg of the Luke Bryan tour will visit more than 35 cities across the U.S. and Canada. Though many of the performances will take place at amphitheaters around the nation, the initial announcement highlighted three stadium concerts that lie ahead for the singer. Bryan’s first-ever headlining stadium performances have been scheduled for Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field (June 21), Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field (Aug. 15), and Chicago’s Soldier Field (Aug. 31). For the shows in Pittsburgh and Chicago, Dierks Bentley will join Bryan as a special guest. Lee Brice and Cole Swindell, who were previously announced as opening acts for the first leg of the tour, will continue their roles on all dates for the newly announced second leg.

Aside from the stadium dates, many cities featured on the tour—including Bristow, Va., Raleigh, N.C., and Cincinnati—already have a second date built into the schedule. The full list of Luke Bryan 2014 tour dates is included below. Currently, the final date of the trek has been scheduled for Oct. 25, when Bryan will perform at the historic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Prior to his first headlining venture in 2013, Bryan had toured with established country musicians like Kenny Chesney, Trace Adkins, and Dierks Bentley as a supporting act. Now, after two consecutive No. 1 country albums and a string of 11 top-10 country singles, the Georgia native is in high demand. If you can’t catch him during his solo tour, Bryan also will be a main headliner at a number of festivals this year, including Stagecoach (April 25-27), Bayou Country Superfest (May 23-25), and Country USA (June 24-28). The “Drunk on You” singer also is on tap to perform at the Houston Rodeo on March 17.
